SCMP Reporter

The delicate area around the eye needs extra protection and nourishment. Apply eye cream or gel twice a day. To apply, press gently along the eyebrow and around the eye socket, and don't drag the skin.

Elemis Absolute Eye serum (HK$380/15ml)

A small bottle with a fancy glass eyedropper. This nourishing serum is ideal for more mature skin - young skin could do with something lighter.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel (HK220/15ml)

Although it's small, this tube of non-greasy gel will last ages. Just a tiny blob depuffs eyes, leaving them smooth.

Neutrogena Visibly Firm Eye Cream (HK$159.9/15g)

Apply the eye cream gently around the eyes before you go to bed every night. Though the cream doesn't smell very pleasant, prolonged use can enhance firmness of skin and help lessen bags under the eyes.

Biotherm Aquasource Oligo-thermal Eye Gel (HK$260/15ml)

This fresh-scented gel with concentrated spring water refreshes, cools and slightly reduces puffiness. Leaves the skin under the eyes lightly moisturised.

Apivita Skin Supplement Eye & Lip Lifting Cream (HK$430/15ml)

With grapeseed and olive extracts, the cream gently soothes the delicate eye area, without feeling greasy. But it may not be moisturising enough for very dry skin.
